Hummingbirds: Minimum Two

One to drink the flower nectar and one to chase it off.

Enjoying the 'Heather Queen' agastache that overwintered in a pot on the deck last year.Here's one (the same one?) enjoying the Texas Hummingbird Sage in a pot on the deck.Here's one at the bird bath, behind a tomato plant.OK, that's not a hummingbird! That's a finch! He was cute, though.

I still haven't tried getting outside really early and laying in wait with a saucer of sugar water in my hand. I really need to try that. These birds really aren't afraid of me eating them. I move way too slow!

I just love hummingbirds! Summer just isn't the same without seeing them and these beautiful birds always make me remember my mother who also loved them as well. My love of hummingbirds comes from my mom and the hummingbirds help me keep my mom's memory alive.
